Crynodeb
3C ICT is our shared IT service between Cambridge City Council, Huntingdonshire District Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council. The shared service was established in April 2016 to provide a more efficient way of delivering ICT services across the three partner councils and has now matured into a reliable and efficient operation.
Our team of 80+ staff provide a range of services from digital development and integration, to server management and maintenance, as well as standard desktop and business application support. On a day-to-day basis, we manage and deliver all the IT systems and services needed by our partners and customers.
We are a modern IT Operation utilising Office 365, Microsoft Azure, DevOps and other up-to-date applications.
Our vision is to help our Council partners standardise, automate, integrate and optimise their IT systems to help them gain the best possible business benefit from their investment whilst maintaining the strictest standards of security, privacy and flexibility. This approach also helps them realise the combined economies of scale of working in a local government partnership.
Ultimately, our work improves outcomes for local residents and businesses, giving our staff the opportunity to feel that they are contributing to the local area in a positive way and supporting those most at need through difficult times.
We want to employ staff who embody our icare values (Inspiring, Collaborative, Accountable, Respectful, Enterprising), all of which support our ultimate purpose of putting our customers first.
Job details
3C ICT is seeking candidates for a Geospatial Apprentice. This post sits within 3C ICT Shared Services, working with the Spatial Team’s Principal Lead and others.
The post will contribute towards the high-quality spatial and address management services 3C ICT provides on behalf of the 3 council partnership serving Cambridge City, South Cambridgeshire District Council and Huntingdonshire District Council.
As an apprenticeship is a development and learning placement, it is not intended that candidates will be able to fulfil all elements of this job description at the start of the placement.
However, by the end of the apprenticeship, you will be able to demonstrate hands-on experience operating within a modern local government ICT department with exposure to a range of systems and processes and knowledge of working within a spatial/ICT-centric role.
As part of this role, the successful candidate will also be responsible for the administration of The Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG) service on behalf of South Cambridge District Council.
The postholder will also contribute to supporting departmental systems which use spatial and/or LLPG data, ensuring they remain accurate and up to date.
Other duties include supporting the spatial and data analytic services that the Spatial Team provide. As candidates develop, further opportunities to gain broader experience in all aspects of the duties and tasks that the Spatial Team undertake will be given.
About the role
Deliver quality assurance of the council’s LLPG to BS7666 national standard and other local conventions to validate its correctness, currency, coverage and completeness
Contribute towards handling and responding to customer requests raised through the Hornbill ITSM system
Assist with the import/export of spatial data to and from council systems where required
Assist with cartographic map design, geospatial data administration, analytics and publishing tasks
Cover and support GIS Analyst duties where appropriate to ensure a high level of service is maintained.
About you
Willing to work within the apprenticeship framework
Experience of teamwork
Strong analytical skills
Ability to conduct desktop research/study to support technical tasks and duties the service undertakes
Knowledge of geospatial (including address) data
Evidence of ability to prioritise and complete tasks effectively
Good inter-personal skills: diplomatic and able to inspire user confidence
Ability to communicate effectively and sensitively with colleagues and customers.
An offer of employment is conditional upon having the right to work in the UK. HDC does not hold a Sponsorship Licence and is unable to provide a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) or take over sponsorship for any role.
Apply
To apply for this position, please complete the application form.
The closing date is 5pm 25 March 2026 and interviews will be held the week commencing 30 March 2026.
However, this is a rolling campaign and we'll be reviewing applications on an ongoing basis and will close the advert early should we receive suitable applications, so please don't delay in applying!
For many of our roles, our hybrid work model enables employees to work remotely while allowing for in-office collaboration opportunities across the district, with an expectation of being in the office at least two days a week. However, please note that some positions may require a more consistent presence in the office due to the nature of the work.
Please note that the official closing date is as above, and will be the correct date. Some third-party websites may have different dates. Please refer to the HDC website for the official closing date to ensure you do not miss out on applying.
